    The 30 miles in 30 days fitness challenge is back!

    For all the grad girls who have been stuck behind their desks this semester…. 👀

    Starting on June 1, we’re bringing back the annual 30 miles in 30 days virtual walk/run challenge. 👟

    This challenge is designed for aspiring or current women in graduate school who want to build consistency with movement in a simple, supportive way. In the past 3 years alone, we’ve organized over 100 participants to walk/run over 1,100 miles!

    Sign up here.

    For those of you in/near Philadelphia PA, we will be meeting on June 13 at 10 am for an in-person meet up. Grad Girls don’t let grad girls walk alone. We will meet at 30th St. Station (East Entrance) and end at Reading Terminal Market.

    Let us know you’re coming here.
